Manchester United has begun talks with the agent of Bologna star Joshua Zirkzee, over a possible move to Old Trafford this summer.

United boss Erik ten Hag is keen on signing the Netherlands international, having lost Anthony Martial, who has become a free agent.

However, AC Milan are also working on luring the 23-year-old to San Siro.

Zirkzee had an incredible season at Bologna, and helped them reach the Champions League.

The Dutch star scored 12 goal and provided seven assists in 37 appearances for the Italian club across all competitions last season.
